Brian Seger, Professor at Technical University of Denmark (DTU Physics) , is advertising an open 2-year postdoc position in experimental electrocatalytic synthesis as part of the CAPeX center . The project is unusual and highly research-driven: instead of working on established topics such as water electrolysis, CO2 electrolysis, nitrate reduction, or furfural partial oxidation, the postdoc will help develop a completely new electrosynthesis reaction . The goal is to identify a reaction with eco...

About this position

Open postdoc position in computational chemistry focused on CO2 activation and CO2 transformation under mild conditions. The project is a collaboration between the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) in Copenhagen and the University of Oslo, with supervision from Ainara Nova, Martin Nielsen, and Anders Riisager.

The appointment is structured as 12 months in Oslo followed by 15 months in Copenhagen. The post is linked to DTU Chemistry and the Centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology (SMN, UiO), and is supported by the Independent Research Fund Denmark.

This opportunity is best suited to candidates with a strong interest in theoretical/computational approaches to catalysis, reaction mechanisms, and sustainable carbon chemistry. The post is explicitly a postdoc opening; no PhD or master's call is indicated in the post.

Applicants should review the full vacancy details in the DTU Career Site posting and submit their application through the external portal linked in the announcement.

Funding details

Postdoc position funded by Independent Research Fund Denmark. The appointment includes 12 months in Oslo followed by 15 months in Copenhagen.

What's required

Applicants should be interested in using computational methods to gain theoretical insight into CO2 activation and transformation under mild conditions. The postdoc involves working across Oslo and Copenhagen and is supervised by Ainara Nova, Martin Nielsen, and Anders Riisager.
